We got high and Matt Proposed. To make the most of our last day of this amazing trip we got up at sunrise and went for a walk around Kandy lake. At 10.30 we were getting picked up by a taxi driver to take us on a 400km trip. This was a last day "Eff the budget!" moment and it meant we would spent the day in a luxury air conditioned taxi getting chauffeured around, instead of trains, buses and tuktuks. The destination was Sigirya Rock. This was one of our favo...

Well the postage stamp of a pool surrounded by tin shacks in our hostel changed the itinerary slightly today. It went from "pool day" to "stay the hell away day". This was one of the best things that could have happened as we spent the day walking round the huge lake in Kandy and indulging in treats. We came across a lot of nature such as - huge monitor lizards, tortoises, Eagles, kingfishers and tuk tuk drivers. It's amazing how we have developed the skill of qu...

The search for breakfast lead us to a very swanky joint indeed where we sat and messaged family to try and throw them off our scent and arrange the false Xmas day skype call. We loved Galle fort so much we spent all day walking along its walls encountering cobras, pythons, monkeys and swimming dogs. After lunch at the Tuk Tuk restaurant (coolest name ever) we headed to the train station for our 6 hour journey up north to Kandy. As soon as the train arrived it bec...

After yet again surviving a horrible tuk tuk ride that forced the sentence "f#%cking hell man, just be careful!" very loudly out of Matt's mouth, we asked ourselves the question.... Why did we not visit Galle last time we were here? The place is truly beautiful and by the time we stopped to even think about the time we were walking around the fort wall at sunset. The last sunset over the sea that we would witness on our amazing trip. It was perfect, the best we h...

What was expected to be a visit to a spa today instantly turned very weird and awkward when we arrived in the middle of the Sri Lankan countryside at a locals poorly built house. The local we had met the night before as he work in the restaurant that we were eating at. He told us he owned his own spa called "Ecstasy Villa" and we should visit to see the real country. For a good price were getting a full body massage and rice with curries. It a all sounded great u...
